UNSPSC 60106501: Buddhist statue

A statue that expresses the subject of worship in Buddhism. Includes the statue of bodhisattva, statue of heavenly kings, statue of wisdom king, and the statue of Arhan and others.

UNSPSC 60106501 Buddhist statue is a Commodity code that encompasses religious and spiritual items procured by state and local governments for institutional canteen, commissary, chapel, and faith-based program operations. The code shows limited recent activity tied directly to Buddhist statuary; instead, the recent solicitations under this code reflect a broader state and local procurement pattern in which corrections departments and other public institutions source multi-faith religious supplies—including items from Christian, Islamic, Jewish, and Native American traditions—for resale or distribution to populations in custody or institutional care. The Colorado Department of Corrections has issued multiple RFQs for faith items intended for canteen resale to offenders, with scope spanning Bibles, Qur'ans, prayer rugs, yarmulkes, medicine bags, sage, and spiritual supplies. These solicitations drive the majority of visible activity under this code at the state and local level.

The geographic footprint is concentrated in Colorado, where the Department of Corrections has posted two successive RFQs (RFQCFCA20260000061 and RFQCFCA20260000062) for faith items canteen supply, both due in June 2026. The first RFQ closed June 9, 2026, with notice of intent to award estimated for June 10, 2026 and Letter of Agreement execution anticipated by July 1, 2026; the second RFQ closed June 16, 2026. Both solicitations require bidders to submit 3–5 product samples for evaluation by the Canteen Review Committee, adhere to plastic-only packaging (no glass or metal), pass enhanced criminal background investigation, register with the Colorado Secretary of State, and meet 45-day payment and $1 million commercial general liability insurance terms. Contract awards run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with potential renewal for up to two additional one-year periods. Price is the primary award consideration; SDVOSB certification is requested but not mandatory. Delivery to the East Canon Prison Complex warehouse in Canon City occurs Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MST, with drivers requiring CDOC criminal background clearance.
